Module description

This module provides a structured approach to learning about the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiological processes that affect the appendicular skeleton (including pelvis). You will engage with self audit, reflective practice and address any knowledge gaps that you and/or your peers identify, in order to build a comprehensive portfolio demonstrating your ability to produce radiographic reports in a structured, concise and accurate manner.

The majority of the study you will undertake will be in the workplace. You will complete a portfolio which will include a log book and evidence of reflective practice.

This module will allow you to work alongside your peers to investigate and address any gaps in your knowledge as a group. The result of this problem-based learning approach will contribute to your portfolio and help develop your skills to continue to pursue further self-directed learning upon completion of the programme.

The advanced practice framework has been considered, successful completion of the module content and assessment methods will help underpin your application for advanced practice status.
